This is as far as I've been able to trace the male lines of my Collins tree.

I have not yet proved William to be a son of Lewis, but believe him to be one. William died before 1850, and I don't think he married, so I have fewer clues to his relationship to Lewis than I might otherwise have. Lewis also died before 1850 and left almost nothing in the manner of records behind.

I also cannot prove that the Lewis D. Collins who m. 18 Jul 1810 in Mecklenburgh N. Carolina to Cynthia Black are my couple, but theirs is the only likely marriage I've been able to find. the family migrated from the Carolinas to Morgan Co., AL, then in 1837 to Houston Co., TX. most of the family remained in the Madison Co., TX area, but my branch moved to Tulare Co., California.

Francis Lee and Louis Davis were twins, born two days apart.

*Kenneth Adair Easton was a female, though her name belies that-I have come across a number of women with male given names or middle names, though few of them are actually in my tree.

I have just found Mary's marriage to James McDonald. there were several other Collins m. in the same place and around the same period, they may be older siblings of hers. they are;

I have a real problem. I don't truly know what my paternal side is. My birth certificate says Collins but, I have had so many negative responses in my attempts at verification. I have found a few matches with my DNA tests and have attempted contact but very few responses. My haplogroup is listed as E1b1a through Family Tree and L1 through SGMF. My real frustrations comes from the fact that I feel that people who have posted DNA results are looking for connections but it seems as though requests for contact is ignored. I don't really know who I am other than I am who I'm supposed to be. I have run into numerous problems attempting to connect the dots. After all of the above, I suppose you are wondering what my question is. That can be answered with "Where does my family line begin and where does it end?

Charles son, my Grandpa, is still living.I have asked and nobody knows why so far that I dont match the other Holmes's. I know that I am not adopted. There are collins living with Alexander in 1870. However they are bother women. I am waiting on other's that are related to be tested.
